Actually, it's funny, I ski and mountain bike with my son, and there are times (esp if we have a deep powder day) that he can't keep up with me....LOL.

You know, the one thing I regret, is not grabbing and keeping some souvenirs from the good old days. Used to always walk around with punch cards in my upper shirt pocket. We didn't have the yellow post-it pads in those days....

Yup, and programming in Assembler and debugging in machine code sure was fun.... Had to really know your hexadecimal, then later had to convert to ascii, unix, etc, etc..... <sigh>

Original Tandy computers that I first saw we're at high school and worth average $7-11,000 came with monitor desktop with 5 1/4 floppy and dot printer
